They are going to keep trying. Throw enough shat at the wall and eventually some will stick.
Back in the 70's, they started having stores "register" any ammo that could be fired from a handgun! Insane!
Once the T/C "Contender" came out, that pretty much meant "every" cartridge!
Some anti-gun geek announced on TV, "We may not be able to get the guns, but we can get the ammo!"
That lasted about 6 months. When the enormity of the process became apparent, BATF (?) dropped it real quick.
But you are stone cold correct.
It started in 1934 with that GCA.
"We only want to register full auto and shotguns with a barrel length of less that 18"!"
In 1968, it was, "We just want buyers to be at least 18 years old and fill out form 4473!"
THEN...the seller had to call NICS, report WHAT was bought, WHO bought it, WHERE they live.

It just goes on, and on, and on.....!

The "anti's" say, "We want background checks! That's all! That won't hurt anybody!"
Then..."We just want a 5 day waiting period! That shouldn't bother legitimate buyers!"
"We just want an "assault weapons" ban! That shouldn't affect legitimate hunting arms!"
Case head "microstamping" has proven to be a "red herring"!
Much ado about nothing!

You can't give "2A Deniers" an inch!
Not, "No!", but "HELL NO!"!!!

Lake City is not being shut down, it’s a government owned facility run by a private contractor which at this point in time is Winchester and it’s where our military and every government agency gets their ammo from. By law the plant is required to maintain the ability to produce 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition a year for the US Military, sales of overruns on the commercial market are what pay the bills and allow this to happen. This rumor started last October.

Biden is trying to stop the sale of any over run ammo. While they may be successful it will raise the price of running the plant. Probably won’t effect current contracts, but it will eventually raise prices.

The plant would go under if this is the case. The gov would have to fully fund the plant to stay open 365 days a year and that isn't going to happen. Lake City isn't going anywhere.
